Book Focus in Focus Magazine Featuring Alexandria native, Patsy Lewis, author of The Morning of the White Stone

It isn't often that a friend or neighbor, someone with whom we are so familiar, suddenly attains a long sought after dream. Patsy Lewis, Alexandria native and longtime writer of poetry and inspirational articles, has seen her dream of becoming a published writer turned into reality. Her book, The Morning of the White Stone, published by Publish America, is now available in all online bookstores across the nation, as well as your local bookstores.

Set in the Georgia countryside, then the La. territory of the 1800's, the sheer poetry of the descriptive portions of this book will enable you, the reader, to experience the scent of magnolias and honeysuckle, the sound of running creeks and gurgling springs, and the sight of towering pines and oaks.

It is the story of Matthew Carlisle, orphaned and raised by relatives. Denied the approval, love and affection he so desperately needs, he is filled with a darkness he cannot control. Amelia, his wife, resisting the darkness with her own determined faith in the power of prayer, finds herself battling an enemy as determined as herself, out to destroy everything precious in her life. You will feel yourself plunge to the depths of despair, then soar to the heights of renewed faith and hope in God, along with Amelia, as Matthew seeks to find the meaning of the mysterious three objects left him by his dying Indian mother. Will darkness win out over light? Will the answer come in time to save Matthew from total destruction? Follow the struggle to the amazing conclusion of The Morning of the White Stone.

This book speaks to the countless men and women who struggle with wounds and abuse of a far from perfect childhood. The author can write with authority, for she has experienced, even as her fictional characters, the emotional pain she so vividly portrays.
